2024 - the year Bumrah etched his legacy as an all-time great

The Hindu  

Every great athlete has that one year where they are cloaked by an air of invincibility. But, the Indian pacer reserved his best for Test cricket, where he tallied 71 Test wickets in 2024, 19 more than the next best bowler - England pacer Gus Atkinson. With a more focused workload, Bumrah dismantled teams with the red ball, becoming the eighth pacer to accumulate 70+ Test wickets in a year. Since 2006 – the year when ball-tracking data began to be compiled – among bowlers to take at least 25 wickets, no one forced a greater false-shot percentage in a year than what Bumrah did in 2024. Bumrah’s wickets were largely of his own creation, indicated by the fact that 64.7 per cent of his 2024 Test dismissals were either bowled, leg-before or caught by the keeper, the highest such ratio for any bowler with at least 30 wickets this year.
